Pinoy English

Perhaps one of the best traits we Filipinos have is our sense of humor. Filipinos can find humor even in the most serious of situations. I guess that is why despite our country being poor and all, we manage to somehow be a happy people. I mean where else in the world can you find people who can laugh at themselves even through hunger, poverty and hardships?

Only in the Philippines.

Of course, there are still some people who are so uptight and frown at the littlest of things, but it's great that they aren't that many. Anyway, I wanted to share this video made by a Canadian born Filipino. I was literally laughing my ass off when I was watching this video.

Check it out!

It's funny because it's true.

It will probably sound insulting to some people (people who have no sense of humor and people who have sticks up their ass). LOL.

I love it because it's funny and it's a Filipino trademark, I think it's pretty awesome how we are gaining so much popularity because of it. Even Ellen DeGeneres loves the Filipino accent. Who wouldn't, it is so adorable! LOL.

You know how much I love Ellen DeGeneres right?

Yes, she loves Filipinos too, she discovered Charice Pempengco and has given praise to Arnel Pineda and now Maria Aragon. She even said that the most talented singers are from the Philippines. She is so awesome. I watch her show religiously and I love that Mindy is back. For those of you who don't know Mindy (you should watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show more often!), she is Ellen's housekeeper and she is a Filipina. In the show's new segment, Ellen gives her a minute to give reviews about movies and stuff. Check out the latest from Mindy!

I am proud to be Pinoy! In the words of Mikey Bustos, "See you later heavy weighter and Pacquiao por Layf!". LMAO!

Lucas Exclusive

Lucas keeps me entertained all the time. Watching him is so fascinating. He is one hyper kid who does a lot of things and I just happen to catch it on video sometimes. However, I do my hardest not to let him notice because if he notices that I am taking a video of him, he would stop and would want to watch it right away. He's like that when someone takes his picture as well, he wants to see it right after he hears the "click" sound or right after the camera flashes.

So anyway, one afternoon, he started jamming with his make believe drum set and guitar. Check out my little boy's one-boy-band.

LOL.

Yes, it is almost a 5 minute act, and that is only part 1. LOL.

He is supposed to turn 3 after February 28, but he has to wait until next year to actually celebrate his first official birthday. He was born February 29, 2008.

Lucas actually does this a lot.

He'll break out in a song

or start to pretend he's playing the guitar

or the drums.

My grandma actually wants to get him a real guitar, and I had to look for a store in our city that make custom built guitars because I want one made especially for his size because a normal sized guitar will be too heavy and too big for him. Who knows, maybe someday he'll be like Justin Bieber.

Speaking of Justin Bieber, Lucas is totally a fan and if you ask him who he is, he'll say, "Bieber".

LOL.

I hope he becomes cooler than Bieber though.

But first I have to get him a real drum set and a real guitar.

I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of Lucas' blogger debut performance.

Pretty Little Liars

Photo courtesy of Wikipedia

It has been quite a while since I have been hooked by a tv show and I have to say, this one is so awesome I was hooked when I watched the Pilot. Pretty Little Liars is a new television series by the tv network ABC Family. It is created by Marlena King and is based by the novels of the same title written by Sara Shepard.

The story behind the conceptualization of the series is as interesting as the series themselves. Originally, Pretty Little Liars was developed for a tv series by the book packaging company, Alloy Entertainment but they weren't sure how to go from there, so they met with author Sara Shepard and gave her the rights to develop it into a series of novels which she did and they are awesome. Then sometime later ABC Family picked it up as an addition to their roster of tv shows.

I have heard about the books from GetGlue, but I watched the series first before I checked the books out and the only reason I checked the books out was because I couldn't bear the suspense, I just had to know what happened!

Although I have read a few parts of the books, I just browsed through it, I haven't really read them from start to finish, I am still pretty intrigued about how the series will turn out. There are rumors in the internet that because many people have already read the books and know what will happen, they might change some parts of it to make the tv show as exciting as the books are.

So, Pretty Little Liars is a story about the lives of 4 teen girls who drifts apart from each other when their friend died but is brought back together by a person known only to them as A. Spencer, Aria, Emily and Hanna drifted apart when Aly disappeared. A year later the police found her body and at the same time the 4 girls get strange text messages from a certain person who uses the name A. They have yet to figure out what really happened to Aly the night she disappeared and now somebody is threatening to tell all the secrets they have shared. Secrets only Aly knows.

Alison DiLaurentis "Aly" is played by Sasha Pieterse (Family Affair). Aly is the queen bee and she is the reason why they all became friends in the first place. Aly was clearly their leader and she manages to have her way with the girls all the time. In as much as they all loved Aly, they never really knew her at all but Aly knew everything about them.

Spencer Hastings is played by Troian Bellisario (Peep World). Spencer has a major case of insecurity due to the fact that her older sister, Melissa is practically perfect. So she competes with her sister for everything.

Aria Montgomery is played by Lucy Hale (Privileged). After Aly's disappearance, Aria's family moved to Iceland and they stay there for a year. When she gets back to Rosewood she finds herself in love with a boy she met in a bar. She later find out that the boy she met in the bar was her English teacher, Mr. Ezra Fitz.

Emily Fields is played by Shay Mitchell (Aaron Stone). Emily is an athlete, a swimmer. She is also a lesbian but she isn't sure yet, until she meets the new girl named Maya who moves into Aly's old house. She is strangely attracted to Maya but she isn't sure why just yet.

Hanna Marin is played by Ashley Benson (Days Of Our Lives). Hanna used to be the fat girl, but since Aly died, she lost the pounds and became the "it" girl in school.

So, who is A? I'll let keep you posted.

I Was a Skater Girl

I was a skater girl, hard to believe, but yes I was. I conquered the hills and the sloped roads where I grew up. I remember I was 9 when my grandma and uncle decided to take us to Duty Free in Subic because my uncle had left over dollars from his trip to the US. Back then inline speed skates were the in thing and of course, my sister and I wanted to have a pair each, so that's what we bought instead of the usual chocolates and imported goods.

I remember mine was black with pink buckles and pink wheels, although the extra inline skate wheels were black. I never got to use the extra wheels because I completely trashed my inline skates just after a few months. We live on a mountain, so the roads go up and down and there were parts with pot holes and what not, so they were pretty battered. I don't know how I managed not to fall down, I guess the ballet lessons helped me keep my balance. I could have been an awesome figure skater, what with my awesome skating skills and ballet training. LOL. Just kidding, I never aspired to be a figure skater.

However, manual speed was one of the things I never really got to experience since most of the time we were skating on a slope, we didn't need to exert much effort. I wouldn't know the first thing about how to skate faster because of that. Skating was the in thing then and our city built 2 skating rinks, both of which closed after just a year of operation. Skating in the mountain got old and it got old fast.

I wonder if it's ever going to make a come back. What do you think?

First Batch of GetGlue Stickers!

After months of waiting and waiting! The mail man finally delivered my GetGlue stickers!

He said he wasn't sure if he had the correct address because it was addressed to "GetGlue Fan". I have no idea why GetGlue didn't put my name on it

, I am sure I put my name on the form when I asked for my first batch of stickers. It took more than 4 weeks for my GetGlue stickers to arrive (supposedly it should only take 2 weeks), but that's okay, at least they are here now!

Of course my favorite stickers would have to be the Twilight stickers, you know how much of a fanpire I am. I also love my first Pretty Little Liars sticker and I can't wait to have the whole set. I also love the Lone Wolf, which is a Check-In sticker directly from GetGlue. My second batch of GetGlue stickers should arrive soon and I can't wait!

For those of you who don't know what GetGlue is, well, it's a social network (like Facebook) where people can check into what they are currently reading, watching (tv and movie) or listening to

. Every check-in will earn a member check-in points and comment points. These check in points will help you earn stickers as well as gain special GetGlue status like Fan, Super Fan, Guru and a lot more.
